Okay, here's an idea.

Lots of people have done the census thing, and I've enjoyed reading them.

So how about this?

March 2021: living in modest detached house on Devon coast with Countess and three or four cats. Employed part-time at a local bookshop, but income from books and albums helps to cover bills. Countess still enjoying benefits of miracle cure for diabetic complications discovered in 2017, and finding blood sugar much easier to keep under control when exercise isn't agony. Discussing twenty-volume collector's edition of Mershane Chronicles with publisher, and looking forward to Nycon 26.

If you like this idea, post your ten-years-hence either as a comment or in your own journal. Feel free to be as wishful or as brutally honest as you desire.

1. I live alone in a studio 'flat' - no pets allowed. Successive govts have reduced my occupational pension to such a low level that I can no longer travel to see friends and my phone and broadband have been cut off. I still have a free bus pass, but it only covers local buses and I can't use them since the govt left the EU and repealed the DDA. The goalposts for getting any help shift slightly faster than my deteriorating health, I can't afford taxis to get to my GP (who no longer does any house calls) so I try to cope on my own. I spend a lot of time in bed to keep warm.

2. They finally sorted out my asthma. No more steroids helped me to lose some weight and get a bit more mobile, plus the new free mobility scooters are so easy to use on all public transport. So I can still travel to visit people and get to at least one con a year.
I get free physio every week, it helps so much with the joints and keeps me moving.
My rented flat has a spare room and enough space for small parties, and I finally learnt to write music as well as lyrics for the group I sing with. My 21st original song has just been published and I've had 12 short stories and 25 poems published.
The new libray just round the corner is great, they will order anything I want to read!
Oh, and I have two cats.

Although you may have noticed they didn't 'cure' my dyslexia?
